At last, the Fable reboot has shown off a lengthy 30 minute gameplay demo touting the word cloud-style reputation system that’ll decide whether its 1000+ NPCs laud or heckle you as you traipse through their peasant hamlets. Every character has their own values and every decision you make has consequences! Unless you have enough gold,…
You gotta hand it to the brave few who willingly risk it all playing an early access game like Path of Exile 2 on hardcore difficulty, where a single death permanently ends your character. If you’re not getting squashed by a giant monkey boss, you’re taking your chances with whatever unfinished parts of the game…
I had forgotten about Quake Champions, the free-to-play take on Quake 3 Arena that first arrived on Steam in 2017. But it’s still around, it’s still got, well, a handful of players, and today it got a surprisingly beefy update to mark the 30th anniversary of Quake, including a free battle pass for everyone. The…
Remember Pokémon Go, the game that had millions of people running all over the world to find and capture Pokémon on their mobile devices? It was big—so big that Saudi Arabia’s Savvy Games Group bought the game division of developer Niantic for $3.5 billion in 2025—and even though it’s not at the forefront of the…

That’s Clutch, a “cinematic open world action-driving game where the worlds of professional and underground…
It has been two years since Dragon’s Dogma 2—the unlikely sequel to an unlikely RPG—emerged from its Riftstone, and it just got a fairly mondo new patch. Released on June 10, Dragon’s Dogma 2’s latest title update brings fast travel tweaks, pawn futzing, bug fixes, and plenty else besides. Oh, and it’s part one of…
If ever I needed the nudge to rethink my rig’s cooling set-up, a heatwave in the mostly AC-less UK would do it. Earlier this month, I admit I had the thought, “Is that smell coming from my PC and, if so, why does it smell of bacon?” So when Phanteks rocks up with an unconventional-looking…
The memory crisis has fundamentally changed how we approach memory and storage. It has made consumers adjust expectations about how much capacity they can get, and for what cost, and for companies like Biwin, it has meant having to purchase billions worth of NAND flash memory years in advance just to make sure it has…
Videogame analyst Matthew Ball predicted in his “State of Videogaming in 2026” report released earlier this year that in-game ad placements will become more common in PC and console games and services in the future, as they’re a largely untapped source of revenue—income the industry needs and is increasingly struggling to find.
